Since this is one PS3 game I have thoroughly enjoyed I figured I would make a thread concerning the sequel to the game so we can post any information and what not that the blogosphere and interweb gives us.
Trailer:
Do yourself a favour and view on the PS3 through, it looks much better in HD. It can be found in the PSN Store in the US region, I have no idea about other regions though.
Here is the article from GameInformer, my scanner wasn't cooperating with me so I took photographs of the pages. Sorry about the quality of them. Please be advised that the files are quite large but reading it is rather hit or miss. At least you can see the photos if you have a hard time reading the small print. If these are against the AUP then feel free to take them down, I don't know the legality of copying a magazine article.

IGN.comUncharted Sequel Named
PS3 adventure fans looking for a follow up to Naughty Dog's popular Uncharted: Drake's Fortune don't have much longer to wait, as the developer has been hard at work on a sequel to their popular 2007 title. According to the January 2009 issue of Game Informer, the sequel will be called Uncharted 2: Among Thieves and will cover the voyages of Marco Polo and his explorations. Uncharted 2 will have a number of new gameplay features, including a free climbing mechanic and stealth sections within the game, as well as new locations, characters and story elements.
Along with the announcement of the game, a teaser trailer has been released that shows Nathan Drake walking through a blizzard, stumbling and trying to protect his eyes. In a voiceover, he mentions that he should have quit when he was ahead but goes on to state that fortune favors the bold as he reaches down and picks up an ornately carved artifact sticking out of the snow. Unfortunately for Nathan, it appears that he's seen much better times: he's favoring his right arm and appears to have been severely beaten with cuts over his face and arms.

Here are the bullet points though from www.gamefaqs.com member maddoggnick96 for those who either are having a hard time reading the article or just can't because their internet.
maddoggnick96Uncharted 2 is the cover story with (what I believe is) the first screens of the game.
- The biggest thing in the article IMO is that there's a new girl named Chloe Frazer. GI asked about Elena and Sully's return but they had no comment.
- The story is about looking for the ships that Marco Polo "lost" while returning home to Italy.
- Melee combat is more dynamic now.
- They mentioned they were using only 30% of the PS3's power with Drake's Fortune and are planning to use nearly 100% with Among Thieves.
- A demo was shown to GI with Drake going through a city (I believe in Nepal), and he's stealthily taking out guards and escaping the city.
- Nolan North returns to be Drake and Chloe Frazer is played by Claudia Black (Stargate SG-1, Fargate).
- The Sixaxis mechanics were ditched for such things as throwing grenades.
- One of the weapons revealed is a rocket launcher that Chloe uses (might only be for the cinematic).
- There are no load screens.
- The score is being composed by Greg Edmonson (same guy from the first one).
- Weapons can be used in any stance (running, behind cover, hanging, climbing a wall, etc.).
- You can now move while aiming behind cover.
PS3Fanboy.comUncharted 2 preview in Game Informer reveals juicy details
After watching the breath-taking teaser trailer that was supposedly rendered in real-time, we couldn't wait to find more about Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. Well, our wish is Game Informer's command -- their cover story for January features adventurer Nathan Drake's second outing and various sources on the interwebz have already gathered all the little juicy bits.
MaDogNik96 of GameFAQs reports that Drake will be looking for the "lost" ships of Marco Polo and will joined by one Chloe Frazer, who is voiced by Claudia Black of Stargate SG-1 fame. Speaking of voice actors, Nolan North will reprise his role as the main protagonist (editor's note: yay!). New improvements and mechanics, some of which were already reported, include free climbing, stealth gameplay, "more dynamic" melee combat, elimination of SIXAXIS controls, access to your weaponry during any stance, improved graphics, retooled QTE sequences that give the player more control and more.
The game will also reportedly use "nearly 100%" of the PS3's power (Drake's Fortune has been quoted as using 30%), but that sounds a stat that will remain true only until Uncharted 3 is unveiled.
